Contrary to the ideas of some garden ers, cold weather does little injury to them, but water standing in the ground where they are planted will lot them. The old way of building up tulip beds higher than the surrounding surface to insure good drainage is still a good practice, specially if there is any doubt about pools of wa ter forming or a generally damp con dition. Lily bulbs, which are parti cularly likely to rot in too wet a loca tion, are often planted each on a cushion of sand to assist drainage. There are two methods practiced in placing bulbs. Where beds are de voted solely to bulbs, the Dutch method is convenient. In this, the earth is thrown out of the bed to the depth required and the bulbs are set on the bottom of the excavation in the order desired. This method is well adapted to formal beds, where a pattern is to be worked out in the flowers. After the bulbs are placed according to the design, the earth is thrown over them. method more widely practiced in luis counry is to use a dibber, or pointed tool, which makes a hole in the soft earth of the bed or border. Where the bulbs are to be planted among perennials or near shrubs, the dibber method is advised, as it pre vents disturbances of the root3 of companion plants. A point to watch in dibber planting is that the bulb rests on soil in the bottom of the hole and is not hung, that is, left with an air hole beneath it caused by the point of the dibber. Drop a little fine soil into the hole to prevent this. It is always important in planting seeds, bulbs, or plants to bring what ever i.i planted Into close and firm contact with the soil. Only In this way can normal development pro ceed. Air holes next to roots or bulbs always cause trouble. Bulbs are very susceptible to cer tain poisons which are contained in manures and manure should never be U3ed in planting them except by an expert. While tulips are grown in Holland on a soil of sand, which has been built up by manuring for centu ries, it is said that manure is never used until it has been buried for a year deep under ground. A good com mercial plant food, worked into the ground a few days before planting bulbs is easiest and best for amateur gardeners. See the goods you buy. Catalog descriptions are flowery enough, but how about the goods when i you get them? i News at Wabash By the Journal Field Man The Journal uill appreciate ihc giving of neivs items of interest to it 8 representative by our readi ers on his weekly visit to Wabash. Carl Hensen is at Hershey, a few miles west of North Platte, where he is employed on a paving project on U. S. highway No. 30. William Van Every, who conducts the Handy filling station at Weeping Water, was a visitor in Wabash last Wednesday, coming to deliver some of his products to customers here and west of town. John C. Browne completed the job of taking in some 9,000 bushels of corn in time o listen to the prize fight Tuesday night and is counting on finding time to listen to the world series which will be coming along soon. The Wabash kittenball team, com posed largely of lads from the coun try, was over to Murdock to play a game under the flood lights Tuesday evening, and while they were not the winners, they enjoyed the game a great deal. Elwyn West, the lad who was so severely injured some week ago and who has been in a cast ever since, is getting along fairly well, but it will be a good while before he is restored to health. However, he is well pleas ed that he is doing as well as he is. Henry Crozier of Weeping Water was in Wabash for a time last Wed nesday, calling on his friends here as well as looking after business mat ters.

Building New Corn Crib Last year, with no corn crop, there were few if any new corn cribs built in thi3 part of the country. This year, a number of cribs are being put in condition to house the corn that may be raised and some new ones going up as well. Henry H. Gerbeling, who always gets his corn in early in the spring, has found it advisable to tear down the old cribs and build new ones. He made a trip to Murdock last Wednesday to secure a load of lum ber for use in the new cribs, and was accompanied by his son, Orville. Peaches are Plentiful There is an abundance of peaches this fall, and even the seedlings are big, rosy cheeked fellows. With this abundance, everyone is able to raise or secure a supply for canning and preserving. One farmer's wife has already canned 150 quarts of this luscious fruit, running out of jars, but went to Murdock for another sup ply and is again at the job, insuring a quart for each alternate day thru out the coming year. Those who are putting up their own fruit and vege tables will not fare so bad this win ter as far as food is concerned. Some, however, prefer to sit idly by, and will be out of luck along about mid winter. Krs.

At a depth of some 4 8 feet they struck a sand pocket and a flow of under ground water. Desiring to have te well deeper, they rigged up a sand For Sale Improved 80 Acres in Plattsmouth Community PRICED LOW SEE Searl S. Davis pump and went down another t n or twelve feet and now have aboi't 14 feet of water in the well, which they have curbed to prevent caving.

Home from Vacation Trip Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schluetir, who have been enjoying a vacation trip through the east during the past two weeks, returned home last week.
